Filmmaker V Shantaram’s last film with Prabhat Studios was Padosi (1941). AdvertisingKnown for his innovative style and resourceful direction, Shantaram brought realism into Prabhat Films, which until then was only familiar with mythological and religious stories. Bhupinder Kainthola, director, FTII, says, “The campus is a haloed space, it’s a pilgrimage for aspiring actors and filmmakers. A road sign announced Prabhat Film Company, with its logo of the woman blowing a tutari. A film school should have hidden pockets where students can take refuge, and, until recently, the FTII campus had those qualities,” he says.
